The owners are very friendly.

Stayed in August 2025

To say one thing, the stairs are quite steep so not ideal if you have super young kids or knee issues or super.heavy luggage - wasn't an issue for us and for a one night stay.

We had a wonderful time at Isao and Elena's house. The room, upstairs, is spacious and clean, there's also a toilet upstairs, with the shower /bathroom downstairs. There's a fully equipped kitchen downstairs that you can use, and our hosts provided eggs, bread, ham free of charge for breakfast. The location is in the center of Onomichi so plenty of access to restaurants. We could also leave our heavy luggage the day before our stay, as we did the Shimanami bicycle ride with just light backpacks. As we speak multiple languages in the family and the host family does too, it was nice to exchange thoughts on our mixed families. Definitely recommend this homey guesthouse.

It was a bit dusty so that gave my son some sneezing one night, but it could have been something else. The tall family members kept hitting their heads on low overhangs. Place to brush teeth was cold in an alcove but still part of the charm

Lots of space for the five of us, owners were A+, picking us up and dropping us off from shin-onomochi, picking up our luggage that we had sent, and providing some breakfast amenities for the first day. It was very neat living in a typical Japanese house.

The location was a 15 minute walk from the train station and also near the sea and restaurants. The house was big and in the Japanese style. The host provided eggs and toast for us to cook breakfast. He also stored our luggage while we cycled.

We weren't expecting breakfast but were pleasantly surprised when Isao provided eggs, ham and bread for us to cook breakfast. The location of his house was great with fantastic restaurants nearby (recommended by Isao). We also appreciated the large private space afforded to us within his house during our stay.

nothing to improve.

Wonderful hosts, very kind hospitality. We came as a family of 5 and the setting was perfect. One room was equipped with classical tatami mats and futon bedding. One room was with bunkbeds western style which the three sons preferred. We had a kitchen area and the top floor for us. We could leave our luggage with the hosts while we were on the bike tour to Imabari. The kind host even drove us to the station with the big luggage.

Nothing.

The staff were lovely and spoke English and Spanish. The location of this traditional Japanese house is convenient, walking distance to the JR station and the ferry for cycling Shimanami kaido. We were provided with ham, eggs, bread and a fully equipped kitchen to make meals. Very quiet and comfortable stay. Flexible check in time.

The hosts are flexible and super helpful with luggage storage, check-in and check-out. The tatami is very comfortable.

Everything was super nice! So we can only write a little tip for what to eventually bring when you stay here. Mosquito spray or something like this.

The Amigos guest house was one of our best stays in Japan! We felt like we were at home. Isao and Elena were the cutest hosts. They were even picking us up on a late arrival from Shin-Onomichi, which is a bit more far then the Onomichi Station. They made sure we had everything we need and were more than welcoming. The house itself was really beautiful! A 150 years old japanese style house, I don’t know if you could experience any more authentic stay. The rooms were very clean and as described in the pictures. Elena prepared beds for us but also offered that we could sleep on Futon beds, which we always wanted to try. And this was the most comfy sleep for me of our whole 3 weeks trip. We loved the interior and the tatami floor was our favorite. At our stay we were the only guests at the Amigos house and shared the kitchen and bathroom only with their children, which we didn’t even noticed. But like said in the beginning, it felt like home. Last but not least, the location: from our small indoor balcony we were able to see the sea. So, we were very close to it. And also very close to the shopping street and many restaurants. Walking to the station was maybe about 10-15 minutes. Same goes for one of the ferries, so it was super nice to get anywhere fast. We can only recommend to come here! When coming to Onomichi you should stay at the amigos share house.

Isao and Elena are wonderful! Fantastic, kind hosts, and a beautiful traditional house with huge guest room (beds as well as futons). Thank you so much for sharing your home. The location is right off Onomichi's main arcade.

We only had one night.

Thank you Elena and Isao for this wonderful experience of japanese hospitality. The Room was very spacious and comfortable. My daughter loved all the toys you provided and my wife complained, that i book the best accomodations for only one night. Thank you Elena for bringing us to the Train station. I wish you all the best.

Absolutely NOTHING. It was a great honour to stay in such a historical house. Wish family good health & long life (including Jack the dog). Thanks again for well-organized hospitality!!!

Warm welcome. All family members made time to spend with us. LOTS of gratitude for cultural exchange!

Stayed in October 2023

The hosts went above and beyond to be warm and welcoming. They stocked the fridge with breakfast materials and even drove us and our luggage to the train station. The house is beautiful, and we had a lot more private space than we expected. It's also close to the cable car to the top of the mountain, which has amazing views, especially around sunset. We were able to store our bikes overnight. Also, Isau and Elena speak Spanish.
